Tarvia for Parkway Use 



FOR Macadam Roads in City Parks and Parkways TARVIA is ideal. Heavy automobile 

 traffic, which centers in such places, has rumed them for pedestrians in many cases on account of 

 the intolerable dust nuisance. The fact that this nuisance can be abolished by a single applica- 

 tion of TARVIA has attracted the attention of park authorities all over the country to this means for 

 the suppression of dust. During the summer of 1906, cities all over the country — notably Chicago, 

 Boston and New York — made use of TARVIA with unvarying success. 



TARVIA is a viscid coal tar preparation. It is spread hot on the road and covered with screen- 

 ings, with which it forms an amalgam which acts like a blanket on the surface of the road, and does 

 not pulverize under the action of traffic or side wash under the action of water. The process of 

 application is simple and inexpensive, and the saving in sprinkling and in the maintenance of the road 

 more than repays the cost of treatment. 



In appearance a tarviated road resembles asphalt, except that it is more gray in its color and affords 

 better foothold for horses. A single application will keep a road in splendid condition for a year 

 without other attention, and only in cases of most extreme traffic will any sprinkling whatever be 

 required. 



TARVIA is a genuine road improvement, doing away with the dust nuisance by getting at its 

 fundamental causes.
